Among other gun control, this new law includes a federal bribe pot for Red Flag gun confiscation, a backdoor for Universal Background Registration Checks, and delays\/denials for young adults wanting to purchase firearms. While Sen. McConnell could have acted to stop the bill, he instead joined with anti-gun Democrats to infringe upon our rights. \u00a0Please hold Senator McConnell accountable by following Jessamine County\u2019s lead and censuring him.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Thank you in advance for taking action.<\/p>\n<p>In liberty,<\/p>\n<p>Jordan Stein<br \/>\nSoutheast Region Director<br \/>\nGun Owners of America<\/p>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunowners.org\/ky08242022\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Urge the GOP to Censure Mitch McConnell Urge your local GOP to pass a resolution to censure Senator Mitch McConnell for working with anti-gun Democrats to pass gun control.
